Pros
- Competitive salary, decent benefits
- Less micromanaging than many other agencies
- Most clients are interesting or high-profile
- Owner has access to some exclusive clubs in LA
Cons
- Within the industry, this is not a competitive agency. There's a pretty big deficit in terms of talent and forward-thinking ideas
- Generally disorganized as an agency
- Some junior staff are unprofessional and get away with it. Many cannot take feedback without spiraling or retaliating
- Owner interjects inappropriately in client meetings and unwarranted situations, which can be counter-productive and frustrating. For example, setting up ad-hoc external meetings without giving team members any context
- Owner has verbally attacked various employees. She typically apologizes, but I would categorize it as abusive
- Owner can be unprofessional in business situations, like being overbearing/rude to a potential client when we lost a new business meeting. I also found her to be flirty with a few men, which made me feel so gross to watch
- Working with many poisonous, lazy, disingenuous freelancers
